Topic: Asian Cup 2023 Prediction and Discussion - page 5. (Read 5577 times)

We know from the two semifinal matches that South Korea vs Jordan match can be considered a semi-final match that can be predicted because the two teams have quite different strengths and not only you but many other people are supporting South Korea to go to the final, while the other semi-final match namely, between Qatar vs Iran, it can be said that they are evenly matched, both have the same strength, but Qatar will be more considered for the final because they will get full support from the spectators and they have the motivation to be able to defend the title, and the South Korea vs Qatar final will be the favorite to happen, but football often creates surprises so that the Jordan vs Iran final could happen.

Jordan vs South Korea will indeed be quite an interesting match. But I would also prefer to favor South Korea. The reason is also quite easy because from the Fifa Ranking the two clearly have quite a big difference. Currently South Korea is ranked 28th in Fifa and Jordan is ranked more than 80th. I forget exactly. But it should be clear from this difference in rankings that South Korea will really be the favorite. But South Korea somehow always fails to win the title at the Asian Cup. And so does Japan. So it is also possible that South Korea will fail again this season.

Today the semi-final round will begin. The Jordan vs South Korea match is the match that will start the semi-finals. And I will of course favorite South Korea in today's match. Because I also liked this team when they were in the World Cup last year. So I think South Korea should be the favorite to win the title in the AFC Asian Cup this season. But Iran and Qatar, whoever advances to the final, will definitely be very difficult opponents to face. For this reason, it is very difficult to predict which team will ultimately win the Asian Cup title this season.

Don't underestimate Qatar. besides being the host, Qatar is also the defending champion in the Asian Cup. because in the previous edition of the Asian Cup 2019 Qatar was able to become Asian Cup champion by defeating Japan. and the strength of Qatar and Iran is balanced and both are middle eastern countries. the difference is that Qatar is supported by its people and many supporters will come to the stadium when their national team competes in the semi-finals against Iran. but yes, it is clear that Iran and South Korea will be favored to be able to appear in the final

Well here is the SemiFinal game



Just like you have said Australia and Japan journey ends do you place a bet and win this time hahaha.
Indonesia like I have said before they already losing the game but still made a big achievement after a long time.


I don't even know that South Korea and Iran is so strong and this Asian Cup change my view to middle east country.


Well lets see the final game guys

These two teams previously met in the Group E phase, with the match ending in a 2-2 draw. now, Jordan will meet again against South Korea. but what was unexpected, Jordan was able to go this far.  During the Group E phase, they were only able to finish in 3rd place. Jordan even previously lost against Bahrain, but they were able to defeat Iraq and Tajikistan. ultimately, Jordan will face South Korea in the semi-finals of this competition. on the other hand, the South Korean national team has progressed this far without defeat. however, South Korea's performance is not as fierce as usual. played a draw against Jordan with a score of 2-2, as well as the Malaysia match which ended 3-3. in the next two matches, South Korea was luckier than its opposing teams, namely Saudi Arabia and Australia. and yeah, in the end these two teams have to meet again.

In this match, the betting market is far more superior to South Korea than Jordan. this is only natural, considering that these two teams have a gap based on the FiFA rankings. however, it looks like this match will present quite a tough fight. so, I won't jump to conclusions for now. minimum, before this match will be held soon. so, let's review it in more depth when the match between these two teams is held later.

As for the other match, as far as I know, Iran will meet the defending champion, namely Qatar. correct me if I'm wrong. this match still has time, which will be held on February 7 2024. at least, we can still discuss it at the right time.

I hope that the final will bring together South Korea vs Iran, I think that is the ideal final. On paper, Son and his colleagues could easily finish the semifinals and beat Jordan. Their previous reputation makes me believe Korea can do it, and so can Iran. I was quite surprised when they were able to beat Japan, where I thought many bettors were wrong in their calculations. I predict that Korea will emerge as the winner of the Asian Cup this time, which does not mean underestimating other teams. In my opinion, Korea has the best golden generation in their football history, consisting of players who are members of several top European clubs. I won't miss those two semi finals tomorrow, it's worth the wait.

Tomorrow is the Jordan vs South Korea match, a match where we are all sure that South Korea will win this match. If this prediction is correct, and there are no surprises of course, then South Korea will have a big chance of winning the Asian Cup this time.

Iran is a country that often wins the Asian Cup, Bahrain will face a difficult opponent now. Hopefully Bahrain can win this match, so in the Final there will be an opportunity for Bahrain to make history as a champion in the Asian Cup.

Indeed, Iran's victory against Japan was beyond many people's expectations, especially in that match, Japan was very favored because the Japanese players were clearly superior to Iran. but that's football, sometimes the team that is not favored in a match actually wins. If Iran vs South Korea is in the final, it is clear that South Korea is the favorite team, especially since South Korea's performance is very good and in terms of quality, South Korean players are far superior to Iran.

The current Asian Cup will indeed be a historic moment for Jordan. But I'm also not sure they will be able to get past South Korea, who will face them in the semi-finals. Maybe tomorrow everything will be answered whether Jordan will qualify for the Final or South Korea will qualify for the Final.

For now, I will probably be the favorite for Iran to win the title because Iran, which has managed to beat Japan, looks very trustworthy at the moment. But the problem is that Qatar will be very difficult to get past.

Jordan has just made a history in this tournament because they can advances to the semifinal match after beat Tajikistan and this is the first time for them to playing at that stage because previously Jordan usually always be failed on group stages or round of 16 and it could be very fantastic if Jordan can able to beat South Korea tomorrow and advances to the final match and for South Korea although their status still the favourite but South Korea achievement is not so impressive in this tournament because although they have won this tournament twice, it was a long time ago in 1956 and 1960

From previous tournament on 2019 South Korea only able to reach quarterfinal stages but at that time their journey have to stopped after defeated by defending champion Qatar 1-0 so in the current tournament their achievement was more better because now they playing at semifinal match and it's not easy for them because South Korea have to playing until 120 minutes twice since round of 16 and about this match both team has been met at group stages at that time South Korea and Jordan were playing draw so although South Korea is the favourite but this is not easy match for them so let see whether South Korea can beat Jordan at the normal time or there will be happened extra time again just like their previous matches

Seeing that these results were beyond predictions, Iran, Qatar, Jordan and South Korea scrambled to reach the final. Meanwhile, favorites to win Japan have already lost against Iran.
For now, the clear favorite for the final is South Korea vs Iran, because statistically Iran is capable of beating Japan. It is possible that it will also be easy for Iran to beat Qatar and advance to the final.

Looking at the Korea vs Australia match, it was interesting when Australia stacked players behind. There are five defenders who are not very up. So Korea has to play fast, and even rely on the ability to pass the opponent. That resulted in Korea's first goal through a penalty. After that Korea still remained dominant. They locked up Australia, and Soon was again the actor for the second goal. From here, of course, Southeast Asian teams that failed in the last 16 can see and learn a lot. When they are in possession of the ball and the enemy puts a lot of players behind. Korean players are creative, patient, dare to hold the ball past the opponent.

And yes, after Japan was eliminated and it was quite surprising, even though Iran was a quite strong team, so they had a chance to beat Japan. Now South Korea is very much the favorite to become champion, but they cannot underestimate Jordan, who is their opponent in the semifinals and that is their test before to the final, if they can overcome Jordan then in the final the opponent will be more difficult because Iran and Qatar are strong teams and Qatar may be very motivated to defend the Asian Cup title they won several years ago, so Iran will not necessarily advance to the final because of the four teams those competing in the semifinals have the same chance of getting to the final, and it is not impossible that there will be a new champion where Jordan will become champion and it will be a surprise.

The Japanese defender made a mistake in the final minutes which caused Japan to lose dramatically. If Iran didn't get a final chance in the final minutes, perhaps Japan would still have the potential to win the match. But I personally admit that the game displayed by Iran was very good in that match. In fact, Japan's defense often experienced difficulties. So Iran winning this match is also something we can accept.

For ideal AFC Asian Cup final seems South Korea vs Iran, looking both teams performance in semifinal round I think has close chance qualify to final stage exactly with Iran defeated Japan on quarter final. First semifinal match Jordan South Korea, its crucial for Jordan for the first time their appearances in AFC Asian Cup success lead to semifinal round. Jordan success defeated Iraq in 16 of round and Tajikistan in quarter final before reaching the semifinal round.

Actually Qatar has advantage with their fans supported, but in quarter final match their performance not impressive well after winning against Uzbekistan trough penalty kick. I think the final dreaming AFC Asian Cup 2023 seems South Korea vs Iran and both teams has impressive well since group stage round until lead to semifinal round.

Statistically, Japan's overall ball control, passes and passing accuracy are much more dominant. In my opinion, both countries are equally attacking their opponents. In the last added time, Lambung's pass was not reached and in the end there was a clash between the two players and the Iranian player took the ball, I think the Japanese player was very panicked.

If you don't panic, the goalkeeper's position is not too far from the Iranian player, and it is possible that the goalkeeper could block him. Maybe my prediction for reaching the final is that Yordania will play Iran and Iran will win the final match.

I was also surprised when I saw the final result of 2-1 for Iran victory because I left this match after the first half ended and Japan confidence will win, previously I thought Iran could play optimally but after knowing Mehdi Taremi did not play, I turned around to support Japan unfortunately the final result is not according to prediction. Now we have 4 teams in the semi-finals and this time I predict that South Korea will go to the final, but can't predict who their opponents are in the final whether Qatar or Iran.

iran was really unexpected, they were able to win 2-1 over japan, from the glimpse of the match that is still available on youtube, i saw that japan had lost control in the second half, they had played badly, it seemed they didn't maintain their stamina well.

iran vs south korea, these two teams will definitely meet in the final and my favorite who will win is south korea, they are a strong team.

But still, even though the ranking in FIFA is not much different, this defeat made me disappointed because before competing in the Asian Cup, Japan beat several strong countries in friendly matches such as Germany, Tunisia and Turkey. So it is natural that the results do not match expectations and once again it was proven in the actual match that we learned that Japan is still quite difficult to stop the progress of teams from other Asian countries.

Now the ideal final of the Asian Cup has changed to Iran vs Korea and honestly I agree with you that Iran will be the champion because South Korea is also not good enough and often has to go through difficult rounds to reach the semifinals. But at least we can hope that South Korea's presence will reach the final and they have to beat Jordan first before ensuring their progress to the Asian Cup final.
